This past weekend I attended the Green Initiative show at the Sunset Gower Studios with Dy! It was a great humanitarian event to support eco-friendly, sustainable fashion. There was a cute runway show showcasing 4 different designers all with beautiful Spring 2011 collections. Too bad I didn’t get very great shots of the show…those models walk so fast! Overall, it was a blast! I wore one of my latest vintage finds, this polka dot maxi dress along with my favorite booties and a vintage bag!

It has been so gloomy these past couple of days. The weather has been making everything weird. The sky is gray and all colors look a little faded. Not exactly my favorite time to take outdoor photos. I kind of just want to curl up with a good book or movie. Being the hibernating hermit I feel like right now lol, I decided to put together a little collage. Just a little gloomy weekend inspiration. I love every single photo here!
Leopard and smudged eyeliner. Red Hair. Menswear. Rustic Browns. And a little sunshine…we definitely need some of that.

This dress is one of the newest pieces from the Volcom Summer ’11 collection! It’s girly, but the dark chain print gives it an edge which I love! It goes perfectly with all the warm colors that are dominating my wardrobe at the moment. One fall accessory that I cannot stop wearing is this waist belt by Ayelet Shachar. It was such a nice surprise hearing from this up and coming designer from Israel. Her leather designs are all handmade and will last a lifetime! I love a dainty little dress with some rugged leather and nubby wools!

Also, I got my hands on the latest Volcom summer 2010 catalog during my last shoot with the brand! Here are just a few images from the shoot. All were shot at Volcom’s team house down in Newport Beach! It was a blast working with one of the most laidback teams! I love the results! I’ll keep you posted on images from the next campaign that will be out next year!

(ThreadSence cable knit sweater and snake ring, Rich & Skinny jeans, vintage hat, Stefane Kelian shoes)

This time of year I find my style gravitating towards chunky knit sweaters in warm beige shades. I’m currently living in this one by ThreadSence, one of my newest sponsors. It’s really just an easy piece to throw on anyday of the week for work, class, and everything else in between. I look forward to sporting it more once winter really starts kicking in and I need something to cuddle with. Another denim label I’m a huge fan of is Rich & Skinny. They make anyones bum look slightly more attractive and legs all the more lean. then, you become rich and skinny. psych! just wanna see if you’re still reading. woowee, i’m delirious on mondays.

Anyways, I hope everyone’s week is off to a good start. My schedule is slightly scary this week but I’m trying my best to stay in track. I caught up on a lot of school work this past weekend and did some badass thrift shopping with Dy. Stumbled upon amazing maxi dresses that I look forward to wearing to some of the shows here during LA fashion week! Dylana is going to be covering a bunch of events and shows for The Fashion Spot and I’m going to be tagging along. I’m stoked to see the work of all the up and coming designers! It will feel refreshing watching the shows for a change instead of walking in them. Will keep you updated!

And for today’s fall inspiration: grunge simplicity. worn in sweaters, crop tops, knee highs, with mini braids and flowers to top it all off. so much goodness packed into one little collage.
